World history (which is not a favorite subject of the vast majority of Americans) teaches us that time and time again, wealthy and powerful men have always sought more wealth and more power. They are ruthless in these pursuits. History has also always demonstrated that those men never give up their power voluntarily and never go down without a fight. Governments that serve the interests of these sorts of men throughout history routinely turned to totalitarianism in an attempt to retain power whenever their power has been threatened.

What’s left? Guns. Thank God Americans are armed to the teeth. For every 100 Americans there are 88.8 guns in private hands. It it a peculiar quirk of the American personality, our love for guns. But the Founding Fathers knew what they were doing and they knew that even the best designed system of government could still move towards tyranny over time. And here we are today.

In my opinion, the guns in private ownership are the only thing that has prevented the US government from taking nearly all individual freedoms away from Americans. The knowledge that if they were to overtly declare a police state they would have a well armed populace taking potshots at the government’s thug enforcers has been slowing the bad guys down just a bit. This is why the Second Amendment exists, not for hunting, not for home defense from robbers, but as a deterrent to governmental tyranny. The Founders thought it was so important that it was the second right they protected in the Bill of Rights, second only to the freedom of speech, press, religion, and association. They were serious about this right.

But whiny liberals say to me, “But Charlie, why do people need to have assault rifles with extra magazine capacity? All those guns do is kill people, and have no place in 2013 civilized society.”

My response is: The US government is the most dangerous organization that has ever existed in the history of humanity. The firepower possessed by the military machine of the United Sates of America is staggering. Soldiers, guns, subs, tanks, warships, spies, cyber-weapons, nukes, biological and chemical weapons, fighter jets, bases all over the world, secret command posts inside of mountains, and of course Obama’s new favorite toy, the drone, are just some of the weapons we know about. God knows what other secret weapons the US war machine has secretly developed or is developing as we speak.

Let me be entirely clear: the reason why guns are necessary in America is to protect us from our the bad guys who own our government and their never-ending quest for more power and more wealth at the expense of everyone else.

Another thing that students of history know quite well is why empires always end up crumbling – imperial overreach. Never satisfied, empires always try to take to take more, they get overextended militarily, and eventually recede into the dustbin of history. This is what is happening to the American empire right now. The country is beyond bankrupt. Americans are completely uncompetitive in the world marketplace for talent, intelligence, and work ethic. The constant bullying of the rest of the world is losing us allies and creating new enemies daily with every new terrorist drone strike that Obama orders from his cushy war room couch while being fed grapes by the White House eunuchs. The only thing America really has going for it these days is the petrodollar and its obscene military supremacy.

But the owners are not stupid. They are overconfident, but they are deadly and smart. If I was one of them, I would see the writing on the wall and recognize that as the average citizen’s situation becomes more and more desperate, sooner or later all hell will break loose. If I were one of the bad guys, here would be my plan:

1: Arm myself thoroughly with the most destructive weaponry in existence. Crush rebellion ruthlessly and decisively.

So as you can see, things are going very well for the bad guys in the short term. Eventually they will topple themselves with their own greed as the parasite completely devours the host. As productivity declines, the petrodollar collapses, economic collapse accelerates, the pie will get smaller and smaller. We will see the 0.1% turn on the 1%, and the worst elements of American society will begin infighting over the remaining scraps of wealth. I also imagine there will be civil war, as some parts of the country will try to break away and try to go their own way. Lots of regular people will suffer and die during this period. While this collapse is inevitable, what will happen afterwards hangs in the balance today.

The best chance for America lies with those that have the means to resist and defend themselves against the violent death throes of the American empire. Those means include cooperation, courage, preparation, and and many, many guns. Force or the threat of force is the only argument these tyrants understand.

Thomas Jefferson said, “The Tree of Liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.” This is fact. Hopefully it will be mostly tyrant blood this time around.
